PerlMonks.org already has a number of ways of linking to other sources of information, including CPAN - see the node What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? for details on how to use them. I don't quite understand why you are proposing this new feature. What advantage would this give over the existing shortcuts?

For the "since someone else will be doing the work" comment below, I say "Ni!" to them. RFE's are, in my book, always given in spirit of ideas and advancement for the community. Given priveledge that I do not have, I would have been willing to implement the feature. Fortunately, it's already there, and that's great!

"Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say 'ni' at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history." -- Rober the Shrubber in Scene 18 of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
